Happy Tuesday, folks! Just wanted to share a little work I’ve been doing in preparation for the republication of my Autobiographical Conversations story arc.

As you may know, this arc was previously published in And Then One Day #7, 8, and 9. While initially published in low-run mini-comics form, my intent was always to feature Autobiographical Conversations in a single published volume. The duotoned version you see above is the new look for the final pages in the book. Just to give you a taste of how things appeared in And Then One Day, here’s the original published page you see above.

I’m going through this process for a few reasons. First, all of my longer books (100 pages or more) have all been duo-toned, so I wanted to keep that consistent throughout the series. I also like the greater range of color, increased sense of depth, and highlighting I can achieve with just a couple of colors. Publishing this story arc as one complete version will also allow me to get Autobiographical Conversations in a greater number of hands (as my print-run will be a lot higher), not to mention the fact that people won’t have to comb the country looking for my limited-run mini-comics in order to finish reading this project.

This is just the first of many pages I’ll be remastering for the final book. I’ll be sure to update you with news of the publishing date as it draws closer. In the meantime, thanks for your support and I hope you enjoy the new look.

Thanks, Justin! I’ve been working with a bunch of different color schemes but feel like I finally got this one nailed down. Ready to crank through these pages. I’m hoping for an early 2013 release. That’s a wild ballpark figure, though. As I mentioned, I’ll update as I know better. Probably sometime after New Year’s.
